Jane Dickson

Jane Dickson is an American painter known for her vivid depictions of Times Square and urban nightlife during the gritty, neon-lit New York City of the 1970s and 1980s. Working in oil stick, pastel, and house paint on unconventional surfaces such as vinyl and velvet, she captures the atmospheric glow of electric light against dark urban landscapes. A central figure in the Times Square Show of 1980 and associated with the downtown New York art scene, Dickson's work bridges street culture, commercial aesthetics, and fine art.
